Earthquakes can occur at any time. Disasters can strike suddenly, just when we have forgotten about them. That's why it's important to be aware of disaster prevention and make the necessary preparations on a daily basis. So this time, we asked Snow Miku, the mascot that supports Hokkaido, and Rabbit Yukine, head of Domingo's planning department, to teach us some "disaster prevention tips" that you can try right now! Take this opportunity to review your safety preparations to protect yourself and your loved ones!

1. Prevent falls, tripping, and movement!

To prevent large furniture from falling over or dishes from spilling, use tools such as L-shaped brackets or poles to secure them firmly in place.

2. Rearrange your furniture!

Arrange large furniture so that if it tips over, it won't block the bed or doorways. It also prevents injuries caused by falling books or objects.

3. Prepare water for everyone!

It is said that each person needs 3 liters of water per day. It's a good idea to have at least three days' worth of water for the whole family.

4. Stock up on delicious food with rolling stock!

Make it a habit to practice "rolling stocks," which involves repeating the cycle of "stockpiling a little extra food" → "eating it in your daily life" → "buying only as much as you have eaten."

5. Pack an emergency bag so you can evacuate quickly!

In order to be able to evacuate quickly in case of an emergency, keep emergency food and a flashlight in an "emergency bag." Also, make sure everyone in your family knows where it is stored.

6. Turn off the breaker!

When electricity is restored after a power outage, power may flow to damaged electrical appliances, causing a fire. Before heading to an evacuation shelter, be sure to turn off the breaker.

7. Turn off the gas at the main valve!

When gas is restored, be sure to turn off the gas main valve to prevent an explosion due to a gas leak. Also, whenever you use gas after an earthquake, be sure to check for gas leaks.
